This is not surprising

If you have been paying any attention at all in the last thirty years, this will not surprise you (h/t Instapundit):

Israeli commandos seized nuclear material of North Korean origin during a daring raid on a secret military site in Syria before Israel bombed it this month, according to informed sources in Washington and Jerusalem.

The attack was launched with American approval on September 6 after Washington was shown evidence the material was nuclear related, the well-placed sources say.

They confirmed that samples taken from Syria for testing had been identified as North Korean. This raised fears that Syria might have joined North Korea and Iran in seeking to acquire nuclear weapons.

Israeli special forces had been gathering intelligence for several months in Syria, according to Israeli sources. They located the nuclear material at a compound near Dayr az-Zwar in the north.

The fact that Syria was working with the PDRK on nuclear materials is shouldn't be surprising to anybody given Syria's fervent anti-west and anti-Israeli sentiments. And I am particularly glad that the Israelis took this defensive measure to stave off a Syrian bomb...
